"Round 1: Carithers/Pawlowicz/Lin"
- February 25

In round one, there are 135 players competing in 45
games. The winners of those games will take on nine
seeded opponents. The 18 winners then face off for six
slots. The two winners of those semifinal games have a
date with destiny in the form of one Ken Jennings for a
three-day final. The winner of those games wins $2
million. Second place is guaranteed $500,000, while
third place is guaranteed $250,000.

No wild cards, no second
chances. It's (my favorite words when it comes to
Jeopardy! tourneys) win or go home.

Daily Double #2: $2000 West Virginia. Leszek
($6400 to Tad's $8800 and Al's $400) wants that
captain's chair; so it's True Daily Double. Clue:
then a part of Virginia, this village became
famous for an Oct. 16, 1859 event. Leszek's guess:
"What is Harper's Ferry?" Correct for
$12,800.

End of Round:
Tad - $17,200
Leszek - $15,600
Al - $7600

Remember, the
losers get $5000 each, while the winner is
guaranteed at least $15,000.

Final Jeopardy! Category: Wood. Answer:
The remarkable elasticity of yew led to this new
weapon that made history at a 1346 battle. Correct
response: What is the longbow?

Al's question: What
is the crossbow? (WRONG)
Wager: $4399. Final score: $3201.
Leszek's question: What is the longbow? (RIGHT)
Wager: $1601. Final score: $17,201.
Tad's question: What is the longbow? (RIGHT)
Wager: $14,100. Final score: $31,300.

Even if Leszek
went big, he still would've lost. The
penultimate clue (where the light bulb came on
too late) did him in, as Tad takes $31,300 into
the next round, joining Eric Terzuolo, Michael Rankins, Arthur Phillips,
David Traini, Bob Harris, Vinita Kailasanath, Bev
Schwartzberg, Dan Melia, Mark Eckard, Michael
Dupee, Jeff Richmond, and John Beck.

Twenty-eight
spots left. Next time,
another heavy hitter in Jerome Vered, another
underdog in Tim Scott, and another woman in
Michelle Clum.
